Very good show today. Seemed to be unsaid, but thought, that it is time to change the coach.

POD seemed very downbeat today, quite justifiably. Very much afraid that the Opta forecast on league position alluded to at the end will prove over optimistic.

Look, we are bottom half and have been more or less a mid table team since the first 10 games of last season. “Unserious” does not seem out of place however painful it might be.

To be fair, I think it is a good/entertaining article. And bottom line, we are 11th, which is about where we deserve to be and, unfortunately, is more or less where I think we’ll finish. Of course, hoping for better.

End of the season, Spurs are 10th with no cup. What would you do with the coach?
Same but with the League Cup (🤣), what would you do with the coach?

It is a very good read. If the Trump administration carries out many of its proposed economic policies, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them adopting ‘populist’ price controls before its term ends.
